Take a veal steak about three-fourths of an inch thick; butter the bottom of a roasting pan, sprinkle it with chopped onion, salt and pepper, put the veal steak on top of this, sprinkle thickly with chopped onion, parsley, salt and pepper, cover with a tablespoonful of butter, cut into small pieces, and bake in a moderate oven about half an hour. When done take from the pan and put on a platter ready for serving. Place in the baking pan a rounding table-spoonful of butter and a rounding table-spoonful of flour; mix thoroughly, then add half a pint of water or stock, stir until thickened and add half a teaspoonful of salt and four shakes of white pepper. Pour this sauce around the steak and serve.
